Laura Sometimes I felt like fighting Jason was like fighting a sea breeze. How would I deny my feelings while insisting on staying? How could I avoid those blue eyes looking at me so deeply? What did he want? I did everything to make him hate me—to make him hate me and never want to look at my face
I knocked on Suzy's bedroom door gently, but there was no response. So I decided to go in slowly. “I’m sorry, Suzy. Can we talk?” I asked as soon as I entered, but there was an open suitcase on top of the bed where she was taking her clothes from the closet and throwing them on the bag angrily. “But
Ava I was kneeling in front of the main door of Laura's apartment, seconds after Suzy left. My eyes were wide, and an expression of horror was written on my face. It could only be a nightmare! “Why did Suzy leave? When will she come back?” I heard Annie asking desperately. “Calm down, Annie. Su
“Annie is calmer now,” I said to reassure Laura, because I could see a worried line forming in the space between her eyes. She gave a wry smile and nodded. “Thank you,” she said. I gave a slight shake of my head and picked up the disposable cups again. “Terrence must be talking to her right now,
Suzy The front door of a small apartment in one of Brooklyn's low-income buildings was opened for me. Clary, my friend, looked at me from the bottom up and said, "Look, if it's not a bitch coming back. What was it? Are you tired of playing with those richie people?” I let out a breathy laugh, roll
“I just understood that I don't belong to anything or anyone in this world, Clary,” I said after a while, answering her question. “No one cares about me; it's like these guys; they all always want to cum and leave. No one will ever look at me any further than that.” My voice got choked at the end.
Terrence There was an uncomfortable silence in the car as I drove to take Ava to Suzy's friend's address. After the day I woke her up in a hotel room with another woman by my side, the most unhappy day of my life, I could say that Suzy liked to make little threats, making me go to her house with a
“Terrence? Did you come for Suzy? I don’t know if she wants to see you,” she said without much interest in me as she noticed Ava. “And who is this? Your beloved wife? Impressive! Is this a real Hermès?” Clary asked, boldly reaching for Ava's bag, who flinched. I pushed her away with my arm. “Stop
Laura POV “So are you going to help Gideon or not?” I asked him while we were still lying in our bed, looking at each other. Jason sighed as he threw his head back on the pillow and stared at the ceiling of our room. “I don’t know, to tell you the truth,” he replied. “May Lindsay forgive me, but I
Laura POV “Do you want to talk about what happened at the party earlier?” Jason asked me as the driver took us back home. I gave a resigned sigh and rubbed the numb area behind my neck. “No need to talk about it, honey. I'm tired, all I want now is my bed,” I told him. That party had really been l
Max POV“You were the one behind those two's divorce, Ms. Williams-Davies,” I told her. “For Lindsay, you are the other woman. And you still think you have the right to say that wanting to bring them together is not your business?”Laura was blinking, visibly impacted by my words. It was obvious tha
Max POV “You want me to talk to my husband to help Gideon; is that what I heard?” Laura was asking me that with a look of shock on her face. “That's right, you heard very well,” I replied. “I want you to talk to your husband to help my brother.” Laura Williams Davies wanted to roll her eyes rig
Max POV“Could you give me a minute, please?” I asked as I approached Albert Williams. He was talking to Mel, his wife, and now that I had approached them, they had both turned to look at me.“Is it urgent?” Mel asked me, but it wasn't like I addressed her.“It has its urgency, I admit,” I replied h
Max I had left Lindsay alone with her new boyfriend in order to give them both privacy, especially because Matt Weiss might feel a little intimidated if I was around since he knew I was Lindsay's ex-husband's brother. I was going to find some fun at that party when I felt my shoulders being grabbed
Laura “I can really see your own secretary hitting on your husband and you can’t? Good God, you never change, don’t you, Laura?” Ava was rolling her eyes as she said that to me. I was really in shock as I saw that scene unfolding in front of me and at that moment I couldn't hold back, I immediate
Lindsay “Oh my Goodness, your brother doesn't stop staring at me like that. Is it because of my dress?” I asked, running my hand over my short, skin-tight dress that I had dared to wear for today. Why not, right? Max Bathory chuckled mischievously. “Maybe Gid is missing your feminine attributes, i
Laura I was in a corner of Albert's party with a glass of sparkling wine in my hand, sitting on one of the corners sofas in the company of Ava while she was telling me some gossip, and I was wandering around a little distracted, my gaze in the direction of Jason, who was chatting with some of his f
